Lyrics:

​Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh… (bis 4x) 

Deja, deja, deja que las estrellitas 
Que las estrellitas, se lleven tu dolor 

Deja, deja, deja, 
Ve y enciende el fuego, 
Deja, deja, deja, tu duda y tu temor

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh… (4x) 

Let it go, let it go, let the little stars,
Let the little stars carry away your pain.

Let it go, let it go, let it go,
Go and light up the fire,
Let it go, let it go, release your doubt and fear.

FURTHER LYRICS:

La tristeza esa, Pa’ las estrellitas 
La preocupación y el dolor del corazón 
Deja, deja, deja que los queme el fuego 
Deja, deja, deja y vuela alto por favor 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh… (4x) 

Deja, deja, deja, que los queme el fuego 
Y las estrellitas transmuten tu dolor 
Deja la tristeza, las dudas, el miedo, 
Pide a las estrellas que te curen por favor… 

Outro: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…

ENGLISH:

That sadness—give it to the stars,
The worry and the ache within your heart.
Let it go, let it go, let the fire burn them,
Let it go, let it go, and now please, fly high 
reaching the skies up above 

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh… (4x)

Let it go, let it go, let the fire burn it,
And let the stars transmute your pain.
Leave behind sadness, the doubts, the fear,
Please ask the stars to heal you… 

Outro: Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh…

Song: Estrellitas
Music by: Ana Lucia Divins

Notes: Singing this song of grief and the lifting of grief connected deeply with my heart this week. No matter what grief is in my heart at the moment, the wordless "O", followed by the shaping of Spanish words for sorrow, doubt, and fear as well as let go and little stars -- letting all the grief light the fire and then the sparks carry it away -- oh, it felt good to sing this. Soft and strong, velvet and spark, ache and motion. I'm grateful Ana Lucia gifted us this song to sing, and excited that once you've learned the core of the song with me, you get to sing all of it with her if you follow the Bandcamp link! 

Songwriter Info: Music has been a lifelong companion for Ana Lucia Divins, who has witnessed its healing power and the strength of community connections. This journey led her to explore sound and therapeutic music studies. She is a Certified Music Practitioner by MHTP and a Holistic Voice Therapist with the British Academy of Sound Therapy. Since 2022, she has integrated healing music into her offerings, singing by patients’ bedsides and sharing therapeutic music in the community for restoration and relaxation. In 2023, she received the Arts and Science Council Creative Renewal Fellowship and in 2024, the Arts and Science Council Artist Support Grant, enabling her to delve deeper into music’s healing potential and produce new works. Ana Lucia’s exploration of her voice has taken her to national and international workshops and retreats in Greece, Spain, the UK, and Colombia. 
In the summer of 2024, Ana Lucia and Carlos Crespo, an Ecuadorian guitarist, released their debut healing music album, “Emerging,” in collaboration with other talented musicians. Available on all digital platforms, "Emerging" offers a deeply relaxing and uplifting sound bath of original new-age world music. It is a sonic journey mirroring life’s ebb and flow, from dawn’s gentle awakening to night’s tranquil embrace, remembering the cycles of healing, new beginnings, and transformation.

Sharing Info: The song is free to share but Ana Lucia always welcomes financial and/or networking support if/when folks are so moved.
